<p>I am a freshman in college undecided major I have good grades but I really dislike college.</p>
<p>Here are the following reasons</p>
<ol>
<li>The classes I just find dull I get good grades but I have a meh felling.</li>
<li>There are these homeless people asking me for change everywhere I walk(I am not condescending my family is not rich and I have financial aid to be here)</li>
<li>I have no friends or social life cause I commute there to be honest I am also not interested in joining any clubs cause I live rather far from the college I go and I do not want to drive an hour through traffic to get to these events.</li>
<li>I am just not happy at college the campus is not a real campus just a collection of buildings in a downtown city district. I have to walk to take a bus many blocks(ok this is just trivial but I dislike it)</li>
<li>The classes they are nothing special really just read the textbook the teachers note take the test rinse and repeat. None of the classes really interest me cause we never seem to delve into discussion or anything (I go to the class sit one hour and wait till its over in boredom)</li>
</ol>
<p>I do however like some thing about college
1. It has a nice gym which I use.
2. It is relatively less time consuming that high school. And I do not have to wake up as early.</p>
<p>Overall I feel so apathetic right now there is nothing I really enjoy in aside from exersize and playing video games(this might sound pathetic to those with a social life but its true)</p>
<p>I hate college the fact I have to get a mind numbing job in the future to pay for bills just to take care of myself while wasting my time on something I do not enjoy. I do not want to post my whole life story on this post so that is all.</p>
<p>But I do not want to do any of this crap I just want to activities that I enjoy at my own pace with no obligations of having to wake up everyday do this do that.</p>
<p>I did not even chose college my parents said go to college or get a job we are not letting you lazy around the house.</p>
<p>Where do you go to school? In some ways I kind of feel the way you do about college. I am a freshman as well, but I don’t commute. I am also receiving good grades as well but also have a meh feeling for the classes I am taking right now. But i guess that might change when I actually start classes that have to do with my major.
I think the problem that you have is that you don’t know what you want to study for a career choice right now. That is probably also why you don’t have much motivation to go to classes, although it probably would have been a lot easier for you if you decided to live on campus. It’s good that you are getting good grades though, and even though you were basically forced to go to college by your parents, higher education is never a bad thing. But it’s okay if you feel as if you are not ready to continue with it since you don’t know what you want to do as of yet.
I would suggest maybe taking some time off to think about exactly what you want to do, it could save your parents money, but I don’t know if they would like that idea very much. But you don’t have to, just continue with it for the remainder of the year and then see what happens.</p>
<p>Going to classes is the worst part of college. I’ve only found a few classes I truly liked and that’s why I take notes and play sudoku on my phone until its over. </p>
<p>I spend most of my time with my Fraternity stuff and clubs and hanging out with friends that makes college worthwhile.</p>
<p>^Yes
Classes truly are the worst part of college, even though that’s the entire point. But the key is to find something you enjoy and do it–which is the point of joining clubs and meeting people. I wasn’t even particularly interested in my major (Computer Game Science) until my friend took me to the Video Game Developers’ Club. Now not only am I more interested in my major, but I’ve got motivation to get through my boring classes. </p>
<p>I know what it is, to just want to do whatever you want, but unfortunately, real life is not suited to that sort of living. College is a place to discover what you love, and to pursue it. To be honest, it’s not just going to come. You really need to work at it and put yourself out there. Your apathy is not going to help. The social life, the meeting new people and trying out clubs is what gives college the little spark of life that makes it exciting, bright and lively. Because in truth, if college is simply taking classes to get the piece of paper at the end, then it’s going to be a long, tedious four years. But if you make the most of it and try things you never thought you would before, you’re going to make memories, make friends, and it’s going to give you motivation to get up in the morning.</p>
<p>I don’t know how it is to commute, but I know how it is to be a loner, with no real friends or extracurriculars. I was one all through high school. And middle school, now that I think about it. But now, I get up in the morning and make it through classes because I know that at the end, I’ll be able to see my friends. Because I have a team that’s depending on me to do my part to develop our video game. Because the gaming nerds have a date with League of Legends tonight. Classes have little motivation on their own. But when you have other people pushing you on, when you have something to look forward to, then college takes on meaning. This is what makes it the best four years of your life.</p>
